The Missouri Senate gave final approval to a new congressional district map before adjourning on May 13. Experts say it will likely keep a 6-2 partisan split in the Missouri delegation. The League is concerned that it splits 10 counties and the 3rd District is not compact. Click here to see the new lines.

The League had reached out to legislators with research showing that 46.5 percent of Missouri voters supported Democrats in 2016, 2018 and 2020 elections for Governor, U.S. Senate, and President. 

A Judicial Redistricting Commission mapped the state's 34 Senate districts for the next decade. Boundaries were drawn by six judges after a bipartisan commission deadlocked. 

Missouri's House Redistricting Commission reached a bipartisan consensus on a map of legislative districts which reflects much of the input League members shared at public hearings. 

League members presented testimony at eight hearings, attended most commission meetings, and submitted non-partisan maps developed by the Institute for Computational Redistricting (ICOR).
